Ranging from prehistory to the 21st century, The Great Sea is above all the history of human interaction across a region that has brought together many of the great civilizations of antiquity as well as the rival empires of medieval and modern times.

What if Atlantis wasn't a myth but an early precursor to a new age of great flooding? Across the globe, scientists and civilians alike are noticing rapidly rising sea levels and higher and higher tides pushing more water directly into the places we live, from our most vibrant, historic cities to our last remaining traditional coastal villages. With each crack in the great ice sheets of the Arctic and Antarctica and each tick upward of Earth's thermometer, we are moving closer to the brink of broad disaster.

This fascinating yet disquieting audiobook finds that we are running out of dirt, and it's no laughing matter. An engaging natural and cultural history of soil that sweeps from ancient civilizations to modern times, Dirt: The Erosion of Civilizations explores the compelling idea that we are, and have long been, using up Earth's soil. Once bare of protective vegetation and exposed to wind and rain, cultivated soils erode bit by bit, slowly enough to be ignored in a single lifetime but fast enough over centuries to limit the lifespan of civilizations.

The Amazon Rainforest, often referred to as the "lungs of the world," is a vast and complex ecosystem that plays a crucial role in maintaining the Earth's ecological balance. Spanning across nine countries in South America, with the majority located in Brazil, this immense tropical rainforest is home to an unparalleled diversity of plant and animal species. Its importance extends far beyond its geographical boundaries, influencing global climate patterns and serving as a vital carbon sink. However, this natural wonder faces numerous threats that endanger its very existence and, by extension, ...

Si l’on parle régulièrement des océans dans le contexte écologique, nous abordons rarement les grandes profondeurs que l’on connaît moins bien que la galaxie ! Ainsi, le vaisseau ROV SuBastian qui est descendu à 2 900 mètres en mars, a découvert des centaines de nouvelles espèces dont on ignorait l’existence. Dans cet ouvrage, Théo Drieu et Manon Bérardi (Balades mentales) encouragent l’exploration de ce monde inconnu en en dévoilant des facettes qui dépassent notre imagination. Leurs textes pleins d’humour embarquent le lecteur à la rencontre des écosystèmes et de nouvelles lois de la chimie et de la physique.

As the soft light of dawn breaks over the sawgrass prairies and cypress swamps, an army of hunters prepares for battle. Their quarry? The Burmese python, an invasive species that has wreaked havoc on this delicate ecosystem for decades. This...

The weather is so much more than today's highs and lows. 95.5 WSB Meteorologist Christina Edwards is Talking Up a Storm with Metro Atlanta experts and researchers to discuss how the weather impacts our everyday lives.

In this entertaining book, Donald R. Prothero explores the astonishing connections between climate and life through the ages, telling the remarkable stories of the scientists who made crucial discoveries. Journeying through the intertwined evolution of climate and life, he tackles questions such as: Why do we have phytoplankton to thank for the air we breathe? What kind of climate was necessary for the rise of the dinosaurs-or the mammals, their successors? When and how have climatic changes caused mass extinctions?

As we descend beneath the azure waters of the Coral Sea, we ...

Serendipity placed David Johnston on Mount St. Helens when the volcano rumbled to life in March 1980. Throughout that ominous spring, Johnston was part of a team conducting scientific research that underpinned warnings about the mountain. Those warnings saved thousands of lives when the most devastating volcanic eruption in U.S. history blew apart Mount St. Helens but killed Johnston on the ridge that now bears his name. Melanie Holmes tells the story of Johnston's journey from a nature-loving Boy Scout to a committed geologist.

From the crystalline perfection of the snowflake to the transfer of energy from the Sun, science lies at the heart of the weather and our understanding of it. In recent years, weather science has moved to the leading edge with advanced modelling, versatile use of satellite data and a better understanding of mathematical chaos. This is a true example of hot science at work.

In 2018, lumps of frozen soil, collected from the bottom of the world's first deep ice core and lost for decades, reappeared in Denmark. When geologist Paul Bierman and his team first melted a piece of this unique material, they were shocked to find perfectly preserved leaves, twigs, and moss. That observation led them to a startling discovery: Greenland's ice sheet had melted naturally before, about 400,000 years ago.
